In the early ages of Rome, women were
prohibited from using wine, and hence
their near relations were allowed to sa-
lutte them with kiss, in order that they
might ascertain by the sense Of smell If
they had been drinking it. They were
so fond Of it, however, that Romulus, the
first king. made law that a husband
might kill his wife for drinking. Fabian.
in his annals, relates that Roman lady
was stoned to death by her own relations
for having picked the lock of chest
in which were the keys of wine cellar.
PIiny also says that judge in a similar
case pronounced sentence against wo.
man because lit seemed she had drank
more wine without her husbands knowl-
edge than was necessary for the preserva-
tion of her health" and that therefore
she should lose the benefit of her dowry.

1t would be difficult to imagine greater
contrast in the moral atmosphere of two
families than that which subsisted about
the year ITO between the imperial family
of Austria and the royal family of France.
Goethe was probably not far wrong when
he said that 1.-The imperial family differed
but little from that of an ordinary middle
class German household" Guided, even TO
sternness, by the firm hand of the Empress
Queen-"PrinceSse magnaniIne," IS Vol
talre calls her-it was model of all the
proprietieS. Yet it may be surmised that by
welding such imperious authority Maria
Theresa inspired her children with moro
respect and fear than love. Be that ne
it may, Marie Antoinette assuredly did
not forget, especially when misfortune
overlook he~, the irmness and high morali-
ity which had been her guard and guide
during childhood. The environments ano
besetting influences of her later homo, g.
far from showing any Difference to the sub
stantial dictates of morality, were inspired
by infinitely varied forms of improperly.
1t would, indeed, have been marvellous, if
decorum had hourished, except in mere
snowy appearance, under the ungenial as
cendancy of Louis XIV. Such, then, are the
diametrically opposite conditions of tho
home in which Marie Antoinette was nur-
fronted her when, at the early age of fif
teen, she entered tho French court The ef
fects of such a change, so radical in all it's
phases, upon a vivacious and pleas
ure-seeking girl would, it is natural
to infer, tend to impair early salu-
tary influences. That for a few
years. those influences suffered q partial
eclipse. can hardly be questioned, but that
they were never wholly obliterated is IN
questionable. Extravaganza IN dress, and
an inordinate pursuit of frivolous enjoy
ments were the first symptoms of this
temporary alteration. From many record
ed instances the following remarks made
by Maria Theresa to her daughter may be
quoted: people are continually talking
about the profuse fashion OF your dress.
They say that your hair from the roots
stands thirty-six inches high, and that it Is
topped by plurnes and ribbons" This CEN
sure is often repeated, and was assuredly
not undeserved. But the Empress hardly
seems TO have taken sufficiently into &C
count the exacting inauence-then, as at
all times of the relgning fashion.-Gentls-

they came slowly and with graceful dignity
down the stops, that every body uncon-
sciously ceased conversing to gaze ednnir-
ingly upon the pair.
1t was just at this moment that Fairfax
CHANGED to look up and catch her eye upon
him. She, too, seemed little confused at
being detected in gazing so fixedly at a
stranger, and, flushing slightly, turned to
her escort and asked him some impromptu
question.
Lady Lydia, his watchful companion, per-
ceived the confusion on the part of Fairfax
with evident surprise, and said, quickly
"Ahl you have already met my friend, the
Princess, then!''
Rarely thrown OF his guard, and wonder
fully quick at recovering himself, he an
swered, slowly and quietly:
''You are mistaken. If you refer to the
lady coming down the stars, never saw
her before this evening"
This was quite true, for it was after six
O'Clock, when she was watering her horse
at the pool.
Not SO easily forced to retreat, Lydia de-
ter:nined to follow up her attack with q
coup d etat. Easily and gracefully slipping
her arm through his, she remarked:
LET me present you, then"
Was 1t intuition, timidity or feeling that
the Princess was a being from another
WOTfu EluS6 DC 6C d us
tance-what was it that caused Fairfax to
start back with look of alarm and hastily
exCi2inl:
''No. Please do not do that"
he saw his error Immediately, as did
Lydia. Smiling sarcastically, she re-
marked, in ironical tones:
''You appear to be extremely disturbed at
the idea of meeting mere stranger, Mr..
Fairfax; and one SO attractive, too"
Just here the Marchioness entered from
an adjoining room and, seeing the Princess
prepared for departure, hastened toward
her, saying:
''Surely, my dear Natalie. you are not
going, without, at least, one song. ! have
stopped the waltz for the express purpose
Of hearing you sing"

THE OLD FIREPLACE.

.Ths blessed old fre-placei how bright it sp-
pears,
AS back TO my boyhood gaze,
Der the desolate waste OF the vanishing
years,
From the gloom of these lone latter days:
Its lips are as rudy, its heart is as wa-n.
To my fancy, tonight, as OF yore,
When we cuddled around It, and smiled II the
As it showed its white teeth at the door.
T remember the apple that wooed the red
Till the blood dubbed out of it's cheek;
And the passionate popcorn that smothereo It's
shame,
Till it's heart split apart with a shrek;
remember the Greeks and the Tro)ans VINO
fought
In their shadowy shapes on the wall,
And the yarn, in thick tangles, my fingers held
While nv mother was winding the ball.
j remember the cat that lay coy and curled
By the lamb, where the flame fickered high,
And the sparkles-the fire-fiies of winter-that
whirled
DIP the fue, az the wind whistled by;
I remember the bald-headed, bandy-legged
longs,
That frowned like fend in my face,
In a fury OF passion, repeat ng the wrongs.
They had borne in the old Fireplace.
I remember the steam from the kettle that
breathed
AS soft as the flight of SOUL
The long handled skillet that spluttered and
seethed
With the batter that burdened its bowl;
remember the rusty, identical nail,
Where the criminal pot-hooks were hung;
The dragon-faced andlrons, the old cedar pail
The gourd, and the peg where it swung.
But the fire has died out on the old cabin
hearth,
The wind clatters loud through the pane.
And the dwellers-they've flown to the ends OF
the earth,
And will gaze on it never again;
A forget-me-not grows in the moldering wall,
The last as it were, of its race,
And the shadows of night settle down like @
pail
On the stones OF the old fireplace.

The same waltz was still in progress in
the ballroom. The same enhancing
form fcats of grace and skill, but Fairfax
was no longer the same. lie waited me
chanically.
Lydia perceived the change and felt
pigued at it, but was more annoyed with her
self for allowing such an interest in I'M

Presently she said:
'1Let us stop and go into the hail.

Turning unexpectedly to Fairfax and
looking him full in the face wish her mar

sweetest of smiles and said, in a manner
that ought 10 have melted the most frigid
heart:
''NIr. Fairfax, 1 am very glad to have met
you, and l hope that we may meet again.
VIII you not call upon US, here, with your
friend: And, should you come near US in
